U mean??

I mean do you guys have no plumbing issue like sumbat sumbat or something? How you guys dispose the waste while in submarine?

When gonna do owners club TT session

Since it's /k, how much the salary of a helmsman?

Yup....it could happen. Which caused by external/foreign object which blocked the seawater inlet. What we do to clear is to blow high pressure thru the piping system to clear it.

Yup we have.....scorpene user club; consists of france, chile, malaysia, india & brazil. We have own discussion group, as well as conferences

hey ltz, this subs are using diesel right? how long does the air intake scope when you guys want to run the engine

i mean,how deep is the subs when you guys want to run the engine at submerge at the same time

stupid question, how you guys berak and pee ah?

Same concept like aeroplane, will remove once at jetty?

Same goes to food supplies?

And, how long can travel without refuel or back to jetty?

life in a submarine

1) Any new weaponry update for MY sub excluding Exocet MM40 Block 2?

2) Got any minisub attached to it?

3) Why the back water turbine fan of the sub is closed/keep covered when it is in dry dock...as i know each sub has its own so called acoustic sound signature (correct me if im wrong) depending on its structure like hull shape, water/torpedoes inlet, fan shape....

4) Which company run the maintenance? local based firm ie Boustead (Transfer of technology/knowledge) or foreign firm

5) How you detect other enemy's sub? U umpan the enemy first to reveals its location?

Depending on the sub size.... some 14 meters, some 16 meters.... its calculated from the keel depth to the waterline

Berak/pee....all stored inside sewage lock. If its full, it will be blown out from the sub.

Sub can sustain longer than surface ship, eventhough its a conventional....because of hybrid system. For scorpene, we can sustain 50 days at sea.

I used to play silent hunter 1 PC game back in 1996. Since i really sucked at using torpedo to sink enemy warships, i just took my sweet time to sink an imperial navy battleship using a DECK GUN after 30 or more shell shots.

So my question: why there is no more DECK GUN installed on modern submarines? You gotta have it for personal defence or to take a pot shot at small ships right?

is scorpene actually a good sub?

why everyday in news say cannot selam la this la that la

for our water sea...it is good already....im not expecting sub like virgina class to garrisoning our maritime (really fat sub)

..

If its not a good sub, there will be no new customers for the manufacturer. Till now 4 countries are using scorpene. What makes it good is..... the hydrodynamic shape of the hull which among the most silent sub ever built. It can carry many weapons compared to other conventional subs.

But dont compare with SSN.....its in other class. They have forever powerplant & speed

korang tak pegi check the radioactive leak claim kat tengah2 laut china selatan ke?

Which source did u get the info??

orang je claim. taktau betul ke idak.

If in aeroplane can jump use parachute. Is there any parachute for submarine.? In case of emergency .

Modern torpedoes are much more accurate and efficient, and the deck gun consumes space as well as (I ASSUME) greatly increases detectability, due to its irregular shape

Wasn't a problem against WW2 sonar but now no

Germans sold a lot of SSKs too though. How do they compare? e.g. Type 214

range and speed is one thing but SSK is quieter than SSN what right? no reactor

what bullshit websites have you been reading

have you guys seen any real (real) big fishes while in the ocean ?
possible to collect marine/sea life data while on missions ?

Company same ke
Better ask for refund or warranty

MkXI escape suit... but only for depth less than 180m, but still risky because rapid ascend can explode ur lung.

tor

Ppl mistaken military sub has windows or camera to see outside..... which is not. Window does not give u range advantage at all.... how far can u see under the sea?? We dont speak in meters for detection range, we talk about kilometers, which only soundwave can provide.

Using passive sonar,we could detect the present of biologics around us. Yes, we could collect the data if we are required to do so

Not trolling.
When TLDM brought back the submarine from France to Malaysia, does TLDM need to submit any "flight plans" (like how airlines do) to some governing body or nations?

Speaking about soundwaves, when you were underwater in the sub, have you heard any whales? Or dolphins? Or some marine life?
Is it possible to hear through the submarine's hull?

https://gizmodo.com/no-china-did-not-secret...outh-1839988450

Not required... but to enter port of calls we need to submit the requirement thru agents. When transitting thru international waters & territorial waters no need

macam ni baru layak memakai rolex submariner sebab betul2 submariner

If in that case, is there a possibility of collision with another sub in the vicinity?
Or can the subs somehow "hear" each other in the water?

Yes...always. we could differentiate the sound from which biologics

serious question, how many times u intercept other intruding vessels from beneath and go 'surprise muthafucka, wat r u doing in malaysian waters'

..

Yup....it happened. One of it between french & UK subs

Thanks for your replies! Learnt new things today!

Submarine will crash with another enemy submarine or not? Since both tries to be as stealthily as possible?

Yes...possibility is there. It happened.... also sub with surface ship

What's the strangest thing that has happened/you experienced while on operation?

LTZ, at the conning tower, what are the tingkaps for actually?

Surface temperature is higher than deep depth....hence giving negative sound velocity profile... giving much advantage for sub to hide, but also hamper sub safety when coming to periscope depth. Temperature can be 25 - 35 deg on surface, deeper can be 14 deg

When sub meet each other...its always hostile. We could not identify each other. 3 steps: avoid collision, avoid counter detection & track her.

For navigation light at surface

diesel engine run on diesel and oxygen and produce lots of carbon footprint. where to get oxygen and where to store those carbon dioxide. and won't diesel engine be so noisy?

Wait... Whaaaat?? Release poop into sea? Isnt that polluting?

Human waste is biodegradable and it helps to fertilize the environment.
Furthermore, it is so deep in the ocean and in the middle of nowhere...it probably wont come into contact with human populations.

So when are these navigation lights are used? When docking / berlabuh?

Have you watched Hunter Killer submarine movie?

If yes, what do you think of the movie as a submariner yourself?

Any similarities with actual submarine situation you might have experienced?
For example; when the USS Arkansas was diving steeply, you can see the crews standing senget.

Do u think it effect much??

I've been meaning to ask this.

Is it true that normal sailors will know nothing about their destination and where are they headed, with only a select few officers & crew that will know?

For example you could order the sub to do random maneuvers just 50 nautical miles off Sepanggar and 10 hours later say you are nearing Singapore waters will the crew in the torpedo room believe this?

What do you guys to to kill time while off duty in sub

its nice to read many q&a here when nobody's trolling.

i wonder if we need to inform countries when we passing thru their water borders in subs during operation?

if no need, wont it trigger international conflict if kantoi?

go to 2.30 they also senget when diving

ade awek ka dlm current sub crew? if yes, as which crew?

Yah!
Senget weiii... I wonder if LTZ have experienced this.

is there a doctor on board?

gonna bet he is....its among the perks of being a sub crew

LOL

I know la pandai

was just asking if they ever did went there to check or not that's all

how do you store months of fresh food supply in a submarine when on a mission?

got what to check lulz

it's like looking out your window, see the sun is shining, skies are clear, and then walking out to check for rain

Navigation light on surface navigation.

Yup...when ascending or decending, we stand like that.... if not secure properly other things will start to slide.

For SSBN yes... for conventional sub, not much to hide from crews. Normally ops crews know, but engineering crews care less about this.

Sleep, do revision, eat, play videogames, watch movie, play indoor games

Of course sub is designed to be silent, discreet..... so we wont inform anybody. If kantoi, will trigger the whole fleet to search for us

We dont practise female crews....like france. But some countries have

Mesti bai..... nk tunjuk tp x de dlm rekod plak video or pic dia

1. HQ will not inform us, to avoid jeopardizing the mission. We will only know when reaching jetty....very sad 😭

2. Depend.... 2 - 3 weeks. Even a month

Difficult man..... some of us need to sleep with the cartoons of mineral waters. And during sailing, sometimes we need to carry those mineral bottles to certain area to balance the sub.

air cond ~

please record next and post here...want to see what can be seen

We cant simply post any sub interior scene for public....especially in ops room

Do Msian military know anything about alien technology like the one US always claimed to have i.e. area 51 etc?

how many crews are there in the submarine each time and what are their roles?

When the sub surfaces, is there any chance for the crews to go out and mandi air laut like in the picture?

Can post pictures of normal non-sensitive areas please?

For example;
Does a submarine toilet really look like this?


Or looks more modern?


What about the galley?

Depend...if can, bottle...can keep inside. But food waste which cant store long due to smell, it will be injected outside

Did once...

Ah was just gonna ask about this. Are there showers or do you guys live on wet wipes?

Do you need to be mindful and keep noise down at all times (like light footsteps, no banging doors) or does it not matter?

Shower...yes we have 1 shower. But cant use everyday because of water rationing. Can shower once every 3-4 days. We use wet wipes to clean our body.

Not all times.... if we have to setup ultra quiet then we will do that. Stop everything, stay put... no movement, till ordered to fall out

How do you ditch all the stuff u dont want at ocean?or you bring back home?

be strong!

WW2 era "submarines" are not truly submarines, but submersible ships. The implication is that subs of that era travel so much better on water surface than when submerged, so they actually spent most of the time on surface, and only submerge when stealth / evasion is required. Hence, it was feasible to have deck gun on subs as its effectiveness in harassing unarmed merchant ships outweighed the hydrodynamic penalty it carries.

In sharp contrast to WW2 subs, modern subs' hydrodynamic hull design makes them so much more suitable to travel submerged. Also, gone are the days of visual target acquisition when anything can be detected by hugely improved surface radar and underwater sonar detection technologies. Not to mention improved torpedo target tracking. Hence, surface gun battle for subs is no longer feasible. Subs have become the stealthy assassin from the depths. Something must go terribly wrong for a modern sub to get entangled in close range surface gun fight.

Anyway, mind story a bit how you actually sunk a battleship with 30+ shells without getting sunk? I would get rekt almost immediately by mere destroyer guns if I stayed on surface longer than a minute lol. Not sure if SH1 was much easier to play than SH3.

Cool. What is the most interesting marine life you've encountered on sonar?

1) Since you meet submariners from other countries occasionally and talk through your own groups, chats, etc. - you are all considered friends right? But once in the water when carrying out missions, each crew other would consider each other as enemies? Don't communicate with one another to try to find out and say, hey remember me - we meet last time or are in the same chat group or something like that?

2) Does alarm ringing, playing music loudly, shouting or screaming in the sub will cause it to be discovered? I know knocking on metal walls and pipes probably would.

3) Does anyone suffer mental distress during long missions? Especially those who are claustrophobic or uncomfortable of closed spaces, but then again probably they would test this before selecting the crew.

The noisiest is shrimp...they make noise when in groups. Whale do make tup tup noise like mechanical sound, but not in similar tempo. Dolphin, as usual...like to follow any ship, as well as sub.

Well, i guess SH1 AI enemy ships kinda stupid. They did fire back but not too frequent & not too accurate.

That’s why i kinda brave to bring my sub quite near to them and blast away using deck gun.

Thanks for the explaination btw.
